Ruth's work captures the essence of an image through the use of a delicate continuous line. She enjoys the feeling of spontaneity this gives her with her work, which shines through her designs. The line is offset against blocks of colour and collage.

Ruth's aim is to give a focus to the work which is reminiscent of the techniques, colours and element of pattern that is with 1950s design.

Sarah’s creative process all starts with drawing, colour and creative freedom, developing paintings and ceramics through play and experimentation. She has a passion for landscape drawing and painting which have more recently found their way on to her thrown earthenware and porcelain ceramic forms.

Sarah believes that a painting, print, ceramic or photograph can only really work if the initial drawing or idea has a strong composition form. She has spent many years walking, drawing, searching for compositions on the marshes, footpaths and in the lanes around the Waveney Valley. There are echoes of the past everywhere in the landscape, holloways, paths that have been created by people or subtle tracks made by hares finding the quickest route through a hedge or across a field. The impact of human activity can be heavy handed like the route of an old train line across a marsh or subtle, like the replanting of field hedgerows with Blackthorn, Hawthorn, Sloe, Spindleberry.

Sarah’s love of colour is evident in all her artworks, it’s always a joy to discover a vibrant Spindleberry with it’s bright orange berry encased in a bright pink pod. There really are the most intense flashes of colour out in what at first glance looks like a green/brown marshland. From the Campion along the side of the road in the spring, Dogwood sprouting in the hedgerows, bright red Holly berries to the intense blueish purple of ripe Sloes, the heavy red/brown of the soil and the bright skies reflected in puddles in the lanes.

Nicky originally trained as a designer, graduating from Central St Martin's School of Art in 1993 with a BA (Hons) in Fashion Design with a specialism in printed textiles. After working in various areas of the fashion & textile design industry, a career break to raise her four children led her to rediscover the excitement of drawing & painting.

Nicky's flower paintings are an attempt to capture the burst of happiness that she always feels on finding an unexpected patch of wildflowers, or when a breeze sends a meadow dancing. Nicky is particularly inspired by the vivacious wildflowers, hardy heathland plants and big skies she sees in the countryside around her home, and the powerful feeling of permanence and belonging that watching a familiar landscape through changing seasons can bring. She is also strongly influenced by memories of the flowers that her Grandad grew in his garden when she was a child, and the naïve shapes that she often uses are representative of this.

Victoria is a Visual Artist who studied glass design at Staffordshire University, England in the mid 1990's. Her studio is on the Bedfordshire/ Buckinghamshire border in the U.K. and her art practice focuses on Abstract Mixed Media Painting and Printmaking. She finds these two disciplines complement and inform each other and allow for a wider exploration of subject matter.

You could say Victoria has a slight obsession with looking at the world in an obscure way. She focuses on new ways of seeing the world around her, by flattening out our 3D world.

“Whenever possible I’ll grab the window seat in an aeroplane so I can snap away at the birds-eye views passing me by.”

This privileged view point in the sky gives her intriguing aerial views that flatten out man-made features, in turn highlighting what nature has to offer. By using a sketchbook and a camera she enjoys isolating shape, space, colour, pattern, enticing texture and exploring scale and composition. This process of observation will often translate into a multilayered artwork.

Mary paints in oils from her garden studio. Her subjects are the coast, landscapes and the great outdoors. Sometimes these places feature people and the occasional dog.

Having trained as a nurse and then became full time mother, she went to art college for a year and never looked back as she loved the craft of making art, the drawing, the planning and the ultimate application of paint.

“There’s a beauty in oil paints, a medium that has stood the test of time and produced the most memorable and long lasting masterpieces. Nothing compares to its luscious texture, responsiveness to touch or depth and variety of colour.”

Clare has exhibited her work nationally and internationally and has been an active member of Cambridge Open Studios for over a decade. She currently divides her time between her own studio practice, teaching and lecturing in Cambridge and training other teachers working overseas.

“To begin a painting is to embark upon a journey into the unknown....the final destination is perceived but rarely in focus before I start. Memory, experience and intuition guide me along a solitary creative path, strewn with twists and turns, to arrive at a place often unexpected, yet always inherently familiar. Inspired by a trilogy of the elements - land, sky and sea - my paintings are abstract visions and amalgamations of memories, moods and feelings. They are nowhere yet everywhere. Places that resonate within us all.”

Clare works in layers, building, scraping and scoring surfaces to expose the history of colour and surface she has laid down. She is led by what is revealed and works intuitively until she feels the piece is complete. This process of laying colour down in a chance way is thrilling but also exasperating at times. Many hours and many layers of paint can either fly or die in front of her eyes. Clare is often defeated and has to walk away. However, when a painting does work, she finds it a deeply satisfying feeling - one that compels her to repeat the process again and again.

We do not currently have any available paintings by Clare.

Nikki is an artist and designer working from her studio in Falkirk, Scotland. She studied at the Scottish College of Textiles and has since worked as an interior stylist, designer and artist, also spending time involved with community arts.

Nikki’s subject matter ranges from narrative landscapes and seascapes to quirky birds and figures. Through her love of colour her paintings evolve by layering up acrylics and oil pastels, creating textures within the paintings. Working from memory allows her work to take on a stylized abstract feel.

'I have always been drawn to landscape and coastal scenes and the shapes and patterns found in our everyday surroundings. My work is inspired by memories, I love colour! I paint using acrylics, oil pastels, and sometimes a bit of collage. I use canvas and board to paint on, and work can vary in size. I like the idea that people can enjoy my work, as much as I do painting it!'

Lynn is a Cambridgeshire-based artist and is influenced by the natural world. The more rugged and gnarled the subject, the more it interests her, as texture is a big part of her mixed media technique. She always has a camera with her, even on her daily dog walks locally. However, she also likes to go out and sketch en plein air if possible, as drawing the subject in front of her enables her to focus of the most important aspects of the view.

As an artist who likes working with loosely applied water-based medium in her underpaintings, she always has to be prepared for the unexpected – and relishes it when it happens. Many a painting has taken a different turn due to interesting marks at that stage. Lynn likes to experiment with different medium and how to use them together, as she is always looking to develop her technique further to achieve more interesting effects.

Rachel studied Fine Art, Photography and Graphic Communications at A Level and went on to become a professional sand sculptor and travelled all over the world entering into exhibitions and competitions and winning awards. In 2019 she decided to hone her skills in drawings and paintings and is mostly self-taught as she did not study in further education beyond college.

Rachel enjoys capturing the light and atmosphere of a landscape. Particularly dark and rugged areas like that of Dartmoor in Devon, a place in which she is lucky to have right on her doorstep. She tries to simplify a scene to its necessities, invoking atmosphere and emotion; so that the audience can feel the space she depicting rather than just view it. She paints using oils on a textured base on canvas or paper. Often removing oil, scraping and scratching, that she adds throughout the process whilst building up other areas with thicker textures – giving the piece a rugged feel like the wild environment that inspired her.

Her palette is very limited and most of her paintings have a distinct colour cord which captures a particular light, weather or time of day. She steers away from adding too much detail – reducing a scene to its bare essentials so the viewer can see the painting with a quiet mind and experience a direct response, by keeping the lines soft and allowing different aspects of the scene to merge into others. Rachel stays away from realism and exact detail in her landscapes so that her pieces will remain timeless with the ever-changing world around us.
